By accessing our higher selves—imagination, intuition, and creativity—we’ll uncover ways to take more risks, follow our impulses, and move toward life’s passions. This process builds stronger connections with self and others, empowering us to embrace personal growth and create a fulfilling, present-focused life.

Among the effects of trauma is a loss of connection to one’s body, to others, and to the world. In this group, members begin to not feel so alone in their experience of trauma and reconnect in ways that individual counseling cannot address. Together we work toward expanding awareness of sensations in the body, understanding the physiology underlying trauma and the aftermath of a traumatic experience, learning and practicing techniques for soothing uncomfortable emotions and body sensations, and beginning to heal trauma through the body as a complement to other forms of healing. bodiesandtrauma@relationalcenter.org

As trans individuals we are often asked to explain our relationships with our bodies to gain respect, affirmation, and services: an articulation is conflated with proof of existence. This virtual therapy group aims to provide a space where you can explore the complexity of stories that live within and around your body, without expectations. You do not need to prove your existence; You exist.
